@EUCommission When will the EU countries unite and promote European software and services? Now all alternatives are national and fragmented across Europe.

@EUCommission are you on @loops already? It's the fediverse alternative to TikTok!

@EUCommission @stux, well, when I check, even #Loops have infinite scroll and autoplay
As a free software and decentralized application, still better than TikTok, but done similar issues are there also

Hi there, @grob!
The DSA has been in force since November 2022, and fully applicable since February 2024. Since then we have launched many investigations, made companies comply to our rules, and fined some.
You can find a comprehensive overview of other companies we are supervising here: https://link.europa.eu/ngkJPH@EUCommission @grob "supervision" is ok but how a lot more prison sentences for CEOs, and more fines
-
@EUCommission @stux @sunnythesheep, hmm, I tested in the usual #Loops feed and scrolled continuously. Probably there are people much more consuming such stuff than me, so they get to the end

Attached: 1 image I’m confused how the #loops for you tab works. I keep getting to a stopping point and today I got the attached picture. I thought for you was an infinite doom scroll? I never used other similar platforms and maybe I’m misunderstanding. Anyone shed light on this?
